William, I have a partially shaded area that gets more light in spring before the trees leaf out, and I'm considering trying to kinda copy Lilli's photo above with F. persica and F. meleagris. The tree roots usurp the summer moisture greedily, which seems to benefit other spring bulbs I have in that area. Do you think this would be a good place to give them a try?
I've considered F. meleagris for that area for years, but the catalogs often mention that they prefer moist areas and that has kept me from trying them. It does stay moderately moist fall through spring though.
